ERP for Power Transmission

ERP for Infrastructure and Power Transmission Industry

Executing large-scale infrastructure and power transmission projects is a high-stakes challenge marked by dynamic site operations, regulatory constraints, scattered inventories, and contractor dependencies. With complex Bill of Quantities (BOQs), government audits, and multi-vendor coordination, the industry leaves little room for manual errors or operational blind spots.

In this sector, even minor delays can trigger a chain reaction disrupting site operations, inflating project costs, and damaging stakeholder trust. Whether it’s mobilizing heavy equipment, reconciling contractor bills, or ensuring on-time tower erection in remote terrains, project stakeholders need total control over cost, compliance, and execution.

Lighthouse ERP, with over 38 years of dedicated service in infrastructure and transmission segments, delivers a system built for the ground realities of this sector. The ERP for infrastructure and power is not just a digital ledger but a central nervous system that brings finance teams, project managers, contractors, and field engineers on the same page. Form site-level material management to automated Running Account (RA) billing and project fund tracking. Lighthouse ERP is purpose built to eliminate operational problems and manage the scaling challenges unique to the infrastructure and power transmission industry.

Challenges of Infrastructure and Power Transmission Industry

icon

Disconnected Site Operations

In infrastructure and transmission projects, multiple remote sites operate simultaneously. Lack of centralized control results in miscommunication, delays, and duplicated efforts.

icon

Material Mismanagement at Project Sites

It is frequently difficult to see the transfer of materials from central storage to different project sites without inventory management ERP. This results in overstocking, idle time, or shortages.

icon

Uncontrolled Project Expenditure

Without digital budget controls, field engineers and contractors often exceed sanctioned limits. This causes cost overruns and billing disrupts.

icon

Manual Contractor Billing and Reconciliation

Contractor bills are often raised on spreadsheets or paper. Verifying actual work completed vs. Claimed amount becomes tedious and errors prone.

icon

Poor Asset Lifecycle Visibility

Without asset tracking ERP expensive assets like transformers, cranes, or tower erection machines have no centralized tracking for movement, maintenance, or depreciation.

icon

Compliance and Document Delays

Project execution in power transmission involves multiple regulatory approvals and statutory documentation. Delays in compiling these leads to penalties and missed audits.

Benefits of Infrastructure and Power Transmission Industry

icon

Centralized Project Visibility

ERP for the infra and power enables real-time visibility into project progress, cost status and inventory usage across all sites allowing top management to intervene before issues escalate.

icon

Reduced Material Wastage and Theft

With site-level stock tracking and material gate pass validation, Material management ERP module minimizes material misplacement, over issuance, and unrecorded consumption.

icon

Accurate Contractor Billing and Validation

ERP directly links contractor bills to work orders, sites log, and progress metrics reducing billing disputes and enabling faster approvals.

icon

Strong Budget Control Mechanisms

Each project, sub-project, and activity is mapped to a defined budget. Alerts are triggered when any item crosses tolerance limits ensuring financial discipline.

icon

Improved Regulatory Compliance

ERP software auto-generates statutory documents like RA bills, work completion certificates, TDS, GST reports, and royalty slips, reducing audit failures and compliance risks.

icon

Minimized Equipment Downtime

Maintenance schedules based on asset usage data ensure critical machinery like cranes or drilling rigs are serviced on time reducing breakdowns and delays.
